Detay Reyinyon an / Event information


Nap envite tout Ayisyen nan Brooklyn Public Library nan sal Info Commons nan premye etaj nan Samdi 14 Mas 2015 kap vini-a nan midi trant (12 zè 30 PM)  rive nan 3 zè e demi (3 zè 30 PM)  pou yon rale sou resous an Kreyòl, an Franse ak Annagle nan ansiklopedi an liy Wikipedya.

Nap eksplike kisa Wikimedya ak Wikipedya ye e nap chèche aprann ki sa ki manke ladan yo sou Ayiti, Ayisyen ak tout konesans yo bezwen genyen. Wikipedya se pi gwo sit konesans jeneral ki egziste sou wèb la e li gratis. Nap pale tou de kijan timoun ak moun ki ta renmen aprofondi eksperyans yo nan teknoloji dijital kapab benefisye de resous sa-a. Menm jan tou nap pale de kijan Wikipedya se yon zouti pou prezève kilti, istwa ak lang nou antank Ayisyen.
